They are seeking to expand our footprint in the metal finishing and surface treatment sector, with a particular interest in businesses that provide services such as anodising, electroplating, chemical processing, coating, or heat treatment. Ideal target companies will possess in-house process capabilities, a focus on quality assurance, and experience working in highly regulated industries.

Target Market:

Target companies should be established players in the metal finishing industry, preferably with longstanding relationships in aerospace, defence, medical, automotive, or other precision manufacturing markets.
